Right now, I'm leaning toward the VX-3, 3.5-10 CDS if I don't go with a Swaro. I like this simple, compact scope, although I'd be giving up A/O and Euro glass. For my use, 10X top power w/o A/O should suffice for a hunting rifle even at 4-500 yds. and I understand Leupold has done a lot with glass quality on their latest, higher end offerings. For long range targets, or long range game, I'd make a different choice. I know how tough Leupolds are, not sure about brute toughness of the Euro scopes. They may be as tough, I just don't know. Leupold custom turrets are a lot less expensive and I may ultimately want more than one or two.
